Hi, im rebuilding my 76 dodge w200. It came with the 360 with the 727(crankshaft is broken) I also have a 318 im partly threw redoing seals on. Just recently picked up a parts truck 78 w200 with a 383 (ran block number) in it and would rather put that in. What do i need to get in order to do so? New bellhousing?(posible the bellhousing from the parts truck will fit current tranny)Conversion kit? Or just go get a tranny(swap to manual)/rebuild the parts truck tranny. I live in ak so my options are slim.
Thanks Violet

You Cant mix and Match..

So if you have all the part for the 78>>>>> I would swap it all over...

For the most part after working out odds and ends, you may need to get a driveshaft to fit.

Good Luck... Keep us posted...

 

this is on automatic transmissions the manual transmission you need a different bellhousing....
